"The authors have done a nice job of describing how to make teaching student-centered by focusing on individual student interests and learning styles and by making classroom instruction exciting and fun."

- Build vocabulary and use retelling and guided reading
- Teach functional skills on a daily basis

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
